I'll bet these guys go back to prehistoric ancestors! Great capture! Love the almost metalic sheen color - they almost appear as nanobytes gone si-fi...

I was fascinated by these little creatures as a kid. We called them pill bugs because of their habit of rolling into a little ball when disturbed. Never felt the urge to take any of these "pills", but I had a friend who thought it was a cool thing to do! Great shot; the light is perfect, revealing wonderful color and detail.

Amazing discovery and very well shot. The only 'bug' I was fond of as a child. They remind me of Trilobites. Chip is going to love this.

Wonderful sheen on their shells! I once said to a garden centre owner you must me making millions. He said " Only if I want to buy woodlice for a pound each!"

I once greeted my Daughter Lyndsey at the door from a days playing out. You know, back when kids played out? She came to me with a pocketful of these all rolled up in little balls, she was fascinated with them.

Great shot, one has to tap them just to watch them roll up.

Such a beautiful hematite shine! So nice to see a bunch of them all together. I'll be 90 years old and see a woodlouse and think of Chip. It's a permanent synaptic connection. :)
